Wheel of Life(1996, 16’, beta, animation)

Drawing on the Old Testament, the film tells a tale of original sin and destinies controlled by the forces of nature and man. The narrative is punctuated by images
of creation and destruction, of pre-history and
modernity, of love and hate, and of life and death. (Michael
Sweet)

How our lives become entangled in media, and media becomes
part of our lives.

-

Passing On(1988, 30’, beta, live action/experimental)

-

The Last Circus(2007, 17’, beta, animation)

The dreams and memories of Godiva, a dying woman. We are privy to her life as it flashes before her eyes.

The Dragon and The Fly(1999, 1’, beta, animation)

The Dragon is the sulphur drenched Port

slowly dying on a windowsill.
